Nominations Open for 2025 Farm & Food Care Saskatchewan Champion Award

Farm & Food Care Saskatchewan (FFC SK) is now accepting nominations for the 2025 Champion Award—an annual recognition of individuals who go above and beyond in building public trust in food and farming across the province.

The Champion Award celebrates a member of the agricultural community who demonstrates outstanding advocacy and commitment to engaging with consumers, helping bridge the gap between the farm and the fork. This recognition is open to farmers, researchers, industry professionals, and anyone who plays a key role in positively representing modern agriculture.

The swine industry has seen incredible leaders emerge as advocates over the years—those who share the story of pork production, explain the care and commitment behind the work, and drive transparency around animal agriculture. If someone in your network is making a difference, now’s the time to nominate them.

Nominations are due by October 1, 2024, and the award will be presented at the 2025 Canadian Centre for Food Integrity Public Trust Summit.

To nominate a deserving advocate, or for more details, visit: www.farmfoodcaresk.org

Let’s continue celebrating those who work tirelessly to build trust in Canadian agriculture—one conversation at a time.

Video: Measuring Methane Emissions From Cattle with Unique Technologies

PhD Student Madison Kindberg, and Air Quality Specialist and Professor, Dr. Frank Mitloehner explain the unique Cattle Pen Enclosures and how they will capture emissions from cattle using state of the art technology. The enclosures are well equipped with one-way airflow fans, smart scales, and smart feeds that can tell you what an animal ate, when they ate and how much they ate. All enclosures are connected to one mobile air quality lab which uses gas monitors and analyzers to collect precision data. This data will be used to determine if an early-life methane reducing bolus can reduce emissions from cattle long-term.
